Definitions

  • Modem paper-making techniques use paper machines at paper mills to produce rolls of paper that, in turn, can be used by board makers to produce board products (i.e., corrugated board). As a result, rolls of paper may be produced from machines that operate continuously. Modern paper machines typically produce paper from a number of substances including wood pulp that comprise wood fibers (although other fibers may also be used). These fibers tend to be elongated and suitable to be aligned next to one another. The fiber starts as a slurry that can be fed onto a moving screen from a head box of the paper machine. In modem paper machines, the fibers tend to align with each other and align with a direction in which the screen is moving. This alignment direction of underlying fibers is called the major direction of the paper and is in line with the machine direction. Thus, the major direction is often simply called the machine direction (MD) and the paper that is produced has an associated MD value.
  • MD machine direction
  • portions or layers of the board product may be corrugated.
  • Traditional corrugating machines will corrugate the underlying paper product in the cross direction (CD) of the paper thereby failing to take advantage of the natural strength bias of the paper in the machine direction.
  • the greater natural strength qualities of paper in the machine direction are left unharnessed by cross corrugation techniques in board making solutions. As a result, companies that produce conventional board products remain entrenched in old production processes that limit the strength of the board product.
  • the present invention provides a method of making a board product as claimed in claim 1 and a machine configured to produce a board product as claimed in claim 10. Preferred and optional features of the invention are described in the dependent claims.
  • a corrugated medium may be characterized as a paper product that exhibits flutes induced by a corrugating process such that the induced flutes are perpendicular (or at least not congruent) with the machine direction of the paper product. That is, the corrugated medium has flutes in the cross direction of the paper.
  • An embossed medium may be characterized as a paper product that exhibits flutes induced by an embossing process such that the induced flutes are aligned with the machine direction of the paper product.
  • the resultant characteristics of the board product is superior to conventional board product that use only corrugated medium.
  • the embossed medium is produced using a linear embossing process that takes advantage of the natural strength of the machine direction of the paper product. Additional permutations of the underlying concept of having a cross-corrugated medium and a linearly embossed medium in the same board product are possible, including disposing a facing between the corrugated medium and the embossed medium and having facings on one or both outer walls of the board product.
  • conventional board products include a conventionally produced corrugated medium, e.g., a cross-corrugated medium.
  • a cross-corrugated medium has flutes formed perpendicular to most underlying fibers of the paper product. This results in flutes that are not aligned with the majority of underlying fibers and, therefore, do not take advantage of the natural strength of the MD value of the paper (when compared to the CD value).
  • Such a failure to harness the MD value of the paper leads to loss of opportunity in the manufacturing of board products when specific board strength is to be realized. That is, it will necessarily take more paper (heavier paper, larger flutes, and the like) to realize the required board strength.
  • a linearly-embossed medium is different from a cross-corrugated medium in that the induced flutes are aligned with the MD value of the paper product. This results in flutes that are aligned with the majority of underlying fibers and, therefore, take full advantage of the natural strength of the MD value of the paper (when compared to the CD value). Harnessing the MD value of the paper leads to efficiencies in the manufacturing of board products when specific board strength is to be realized. That is, it will necessarily take less paper (lighter paper, smaller flutes, and the like) to realize the required board strength. Aspects of making, producing, and using linearly embossed mediums are discussed in greater detail in U.S. Patent Application No.
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric cutaway view of a corrugated medium 120 that may be part of one or more board products according to one or more embodiments of the subject matter disclosed herein.
  • This diagram shows an isometric view of a portion of a corrugated medium 120 that may be formed from a corrugating process as may be conventionally known. That is, flutes 121 are formed by passing the initial paper product through corrugating rolls in a cross-corrugation technique such that the flutes 121 are formed to be perpendicular (e.g., not congruent) with the majority of underlying fibers 125 of the paper product and are not congruent with the machine direction 122.
  • a cross-corrugated medium 120 does not harness the natural strength of the paper product in the machine direction as the flutes 121 are formed in the cross direction of the paper ⁇ e.g., incongruent with the majority of the underlying fibers 125 ).
  • the cross-corrugated medium 120 of FIG. 1 is relatively inexpensive to produce and is widely produced by readily available industrial corrugating machines.
  • a corrugated medium 120 may be one component/layer of a board product as discussed below with respect to FIG. 3A /B.
  • FIG. 2 is an isometric cutaway view of an embossed medium 130 that may be part of one or more board products according to one or more embodiments of the subject matter disclosed herein.
  • This diagram shows an isometric view of a portion of an embossed medium 130 that may be formed from an embossing process. That is, flutes 131 are formed from passing the initial paper product through embossing rolls to form flutes using a linear-embossing technique such that the flutes 131 are formed congruent with a majority of underlying fibers 125 of the paper. The flutes 131 are also formed congruent with the machine direction 122.
  • a linearly-embossed medium 130 harnesses the natural strength of the paper in the machine direction 122 as the flutes 131 are formed in the machine direction 122 of the paper (e.g., congruent with a majority the underlying fibers 125 ). Therefore, a linearly-embossed medium 130 does harness the natural strength of the paper in the machine direction 122.
  • Such an embossed medium 130 may be another component/layer of a board product as discussed below with respect to FIG. 3A /B .
  • FIG. 3A is an isometric cutaway view of a board product 100 having at least one corrugated medium 120 and at least one embossed medium 130 according to an embodiment of the subject matter disclosed herein.
  • the board product includes four layers: a first facing 110, a corrugated medium 120, an embossed medium 130, and a second facing 140 .
  • the first facing 110 may form a topside outer wall (although the top/bottom direction reference to alignment of the board product 100 is arbitrary) that is coupled to one side of the corrugated medium 120 .
  • the coupling may be through an adhesive applied to the apex of each flute on the top-side of the corrugated medium 120 such that the facing 110 is glued to the corrugated medium 120 where adhesive is applied.
  • glue may be applied to the entirety of the facing 110 prior to being coupled to the corrugated medium 120 .
  • a second facing 140 may form a bottom-side outer wall (again, the top/bottom direction reference is arbitrary) that is coupled to one side of the embossed medium 130.
  • the coupling may be through an adhesive applied to the apex of each flute on the bottom-side of the embossed medium 130 such that the facing 140 is glued to the embossed medium 140 where adhesive is applied.
  • glue may be applied to the entirety of the facing 140 prior to being coupled to the embossed medium 130.
  • the resultant board product 100 is stronger than conventional board product because the linearly embossed medium 130 takes advantage of the superior MD value of the underlying paper product.
  • the four layers when assembled feature the embossed medium 130 having flutes that are perpendicular (or at least not congruent) with the flutes of the corrugated medium 120 This results in additional board strength because the flutes of the respective mediums are perpendicular with respect to each other (or at the least, not congruent).
  • Other embodiments not shown may include any combination of mediums and facings such that at least one medium is a corrugated medium 120 and at least one medium is an embossed medium 130 .
  • the corrugated medium 120 is shown with a flute profile known as C-flute.
  • the flute profile is a standardized set of parameters detailing various measurements of the flute, such as flute height, flute pitch, number of flutes per lineal foot, and the like.
  • Other standardized flute profiles include A-flute, B-flute, E-flute, F-flute, and R-flute.
  • the corrugated medium 120 includes a sinusoidal C-flute pattern.
  • the embossed medium 130 is also shown with a C-flute profile, but, of course, the flutes are linear with respect to the machine direction of the underlying paper.
  • the embossed medium 130 also has a different shape in that the flute profile is characterized by a triangular pattern. In other embodiments not shown, the embossed medium 130 may have a different flute profile than the corrugated medium 120, such as E-flute profile.
  • the flutes of the corrugated medium 120 and the embossed medium 130 may be aligned with each other when assembled.
  • the corrugated medium 120 will still have the corrugated flutes induced in the cross direction of the paper and the embossed medium 130 will still have flutes induced in the machine direction of the paper.
  • one of the two mediums may be transferred 90 degrees during a board assembling process in an effort to align the flutes of the two mediums 120 and 130 while still taking advantage of a linearly embossed medium 130 that harnesses the MD value of paper.
  • the induced flutes of the embossed medium 130 are congruent with the machine direction 122 .
  • the underlying long fibers 125 ( FIG. 2 ) of the paper remain aligned with the flute direction.
  • Having the underlying long fibers 125 ( FIG. 2 ) aligned with respective flutes results in an alignment of the flutes with the greater MD value of the paper (when compared to the CD value).
  • Cross-corrugating techniques necessarily lead to having flutes aligned with the CD value of the paper.
  • the linear embossing process takes advantage of the MD value of the paper by aligning the flutes in the machine direction. Therefore, the flute-inducing embossing process allows less total fiber to be used in achieving a specific strength of a resulting board product, such as board product 100 .
  • linear embossing allows the paper maker to disregard any need to carefully control the alignment (or rather non-alignment) of the pulp fibers when first poured onto a screen on a paper machine.
  • Paper makers in order to improve strength in the cross direction, may employ paper machines that include a head box that combats the natural alignment of underlying long fibers in the machine direction. With linear embossing, the need for improved strength in the cross direction is reduced or eliminated. Therefore, the paper-maker can focus on improving the speed of the paper machine.
  • FIGs. 1-3 have a corrugated medium 120 that exhibits a sinusoidal shape of a flute. Further, the embossed medium 130 is shown as having a triangular flute profile. However, other embodiments may include different shapes for flutes of either medium including saw-tooth, trapezoidal, or any manner of a curvilinear shape. Additional aspects of the board product 100 of FIGs. 1-3 are discussed next with respect to the machine of FIG. 4 .
  • FIG. 4 is a diagram of aspects of a machine 400 configured to produce the board product 100 (or other board products) of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the subject matter disclosed herein.
  • the machine includes five feed rolls 410, 420, 430, 440, and 445 of paper that are used to produce a board product.
  • These feed rolls include a first facing feed roll 410, a corrugated medium feed roll 420, an embossed medium feed roll 430, a second facing feed roll 440 and a middle facing feed roll 445 .
  • the paper that is wound on the corrugated medium feed roll 420 is prior to corrugating and the paper that is wound on the embossed medium feed roll 430 is prior to embossing.
  • the weights and composition of the paper for each respective feed roll may be different and designed specifically for the respective purpose.
  • the paper from each roll may be unwound from each respective roll and fed toward a combiner 450 that is configured to combine the various layers of paper together to form a resultant board product.
  • the combination of feed rolls in the machine 400 may be different from what is shown in FIG. 4 .
  • the configuration of feed rolls as shown in FIG.4 may produce a board product with five layers (as will be discussed below with respect to FIG. 5A /B )
  • the feed rolls in such an embodiment would include first facing feed roll 410 , corrugated medium feed roll 420, embossed medium feed roll 430 and second facing feed roll 440.
  • the remainder of the discussion with regard to FIG. 4 focuses on this embodiment.
  • the corrugated medium feed roll 420 may feed paper into first and second corrugating rolls 421a and 421b that are aligned with respect to each other. As the paper exits the corrugating stage (e.g., corrugating rolls 421a and 421b ), it becomes the corrugated medium 120 as discussed above with respect to FIG. 1 . The corrugated medium 120 is then fed into the combiner 450 to be combined with other materials.
  • the embossed medium feed roll 430 may feed paper into first and second embossing rolls 431a and 431b that are aligned with respect to each other. As the paper exits the embossing stage ⁇ e.g., embossing rolls 431a and 431b ), it becomes the embossed medium 130 as discussed above with respect to FIG. 2 . The embossed medium 130 is then fed into the combiner 450 to be combined with other materials.
  • a first facing 110 , the corrugated medium 120 , the embossed medium 130 , and a second facing 140 are combined in the combiner 450 using various techniques such as adhesion, curing, wetting, drying, heating, and chemical treatment.

  • Other machine 400 embodiments may be configured to produce different board products with differing arrangements of paper, facing, and medium.
  • another facing feed roll 445 may be included to feed a third facing 446 to be disposed between the cross-corrugated medium 120 and the linearly-embossed medium 130 .

  • the first facing 110 may form a top-side outer wall (although the direction reference to alignment of the board product 500 is arbitrary) that is coupled to one side of the corrugated medium 120 .
  • the coupling may be through an adhesive applied to the apex of each flute on the top-side of the corrugated medium 120 such that the facing 110 is coupled to the corrugated medium 120 where adhesive is applied.
  • a second facing 140 may form a bottom-side outer wall (again, the direction reference is arbitrary) that is coupled to one side of the embossed medium 130 .
  • the coupling may be through an adhesive applied to the apex of each flute on the bottom-side of the embossed medium 130 such that the facing 140 is glued to the embossed medium 140 where adhesive is applied.
  • the corrugated medium 120 and the embossed medium 130 may also be glued to a middle facing 446 using adhesive. In this manner, the corrugated medium 120 and the embossed medium 130 are affixed with respect to one another because of the adhesive holding each medium to the middle facing 446 .
